I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 323 New Master

Upon hearing this, the two who wanted to continue arguing fell silent, both looking somewhat aggrieved.

Ningbing muttered, "He was the one who said it to me first. I'm not a coward."

"Alright, alright, I know you're not." Jinmu rubbed Ningbing's head to comfort her, then looked at Kuanglei: "And you, can't you just say less?"

"It's clearly because she's too noisy," Kuang Lei muttered to himself in a muffled voice.

Jinmu patted Kuang Lei on the shoulder to comfort him, and then looked at everyone and said, "Since our new master has summoned us, let's hurry up and go. We can't keep our new master waiting for us."

“Indeed.” Fu Guang nodded in agreement. “If she has an even more volatile temper than the Ice Soul Goddess, we’re in for a rough time.”

"Tsk, why do you always think the worst?" Yuan Shui scoffed. "Besides, Her Highness the Goddess doesn't seem to be short-tempered, does she? What? Have you been targeted?"

Fu Guang rolled his eyes at Yuan Shui, not intending to pay him any attention.

……

The Shattered Bone Gate.

The broken bones were freed from their restraints, and bathed in the energy that restored their bodies. For the first time, their bodies, which had been riddled with holes, regained sensation.

This surprised and delighted him.

He had been bound for so many years, and had felt resentment and rage, but found it all to no avail. In addition, he had indeed committed a crime, so although he was unwilling, he still obediently stayed in the Shattered Bone Sect.

Now that he finally has physical freedom, he is overjoyed but also a little lost. Because he has not been able to move for so long, he falls every two steps. Despite this, he is very happy.

"Hahaha! I can walk now!"

"Is this the joy of being able to move freely?" Having been bound for so long, it feels quite novel now.

"Should I take the first step with my left foot or my right foot..." Broken Bones muttered to himself.

And so, staggering along, they made their way to the portal leading to the Blazing Flame Gate.

……

All the executioners arrived at the Blazing Flame Gate through the summoning message given by Yun Qingyi. No matter how carefree, dissatisfied, or curious they were before they came, they all became respectful after entering the Blazing Flame Gate.

Yun Qingyi sat on the blazing throne, looking down at the seventeen people who stood in their positions, her aura powerful and cold.

The executioners all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a single word.

But they were all having conversations in their minds with the other executioners.

Ningbing: [Aaaaaah! What do I do?! This new master seems even more formidable than Princess Ice Soul Goddess!]

Fu Guang: [Isn't this even better? It means the new master is more powerful, and our lives will be better from now on.]

Kuang Lei: [Tch! What kind of twisted logic is that? What does her strength have to do with how well we live? What if she's even more exploitative than the Ice Soul Goddess!]

Jinmu: [Kuanglei, don't talk nonsense!] After scolding him, Jinmu continued: [But why is Zhiyan so close to the new master? How come I didn't know they knew each other before?]

Ningbing: [That makes sense! By the way, who is the new master? But why isn't Zhiyan saying anything?]

Yuan Shui: […I think you guys should also say less.]

Broken Bones: [So lively?]

Listening to the Blade: [...]

……

Yun Qingyi stared blankly at the crowd below the stage. Zhiyan frantically tried to signal to them, but apart from a few people, none of them paid attention.

"Have you finished discussing?" A cold, indifferent voice suddenly rang out, and in an instant, the already quiet surroundings became even more silent, with only the faint, scorching sounds of flames and lava not far away.

! ! ! !

Ningbing cautiously asked in her mind: "We...didn't make a sound, did we?"

No one answered her then; there was silence, because they all understood the meaning in Zhiyan's eyes.

"It seems that none of you know what abilities the controller of the entire Eighteen Levels of Purgatory possesses."

Yun Qingyi's indifferent gaze swept lightly over the crowd. "I can hear the discussions in your minds."
